To change the final gear oil
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Place an oil pan under the final gear case to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the final gear oil filler bolt, the final gear oil level check bolt, the final gear oil drain
bolt and their gasket to drain the oil from the
final gear case.
4. Install the drain bolt and its new gasket, and then tighten the bolt to the specified torque. 5. Refill with the recommended final gear oil to
the brim of the check hole as shown.
NOTICE: Be sure no foreign material en-
ters the final gear case.

86. Check the oil level check bolt gasket and the
oil filler bolt gasket for damage, and replace
them if necessary.
7. Install the oil level check bolt, the oil filler bolt and their gasket, and then tighten the bolts to
the specified torques.
8. Check the final gear case for oil leakage. If oil is leaking, check for the cause.
EBU23427Differential gear oilThe differential gear case must be checked for oil
leakage before each ride. If any leakage is found,
have a Yamaha dealer check and repair the ATV.
In addition, the differential gear oil level must be
checked and the oil changed as follows at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. To check the differential gear oil level
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove the differential gear oil filler bolt and its gasket, and then check the oil level in the
differential gear case. The oil level should be
at the brim of the filler hole.
3. If the oil is below the brim of the filler hole, add sufficient oil of the recommended type to
raise it to the correct level.
4. Check the gasket for damage, and replace it if necessary.
Tightening torques:
Final gear oil level check bolt:10 Nm (1.0 m·kgf, 7.2 ft·lbf)
Final gear oil filler bolt: 23 Nm (2.3 m·kgf, 17 ft·lbf)

EBU23471CoolantThe coolant level should be checked before each
ride. In addition, the coolant must be changed at
the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.EBU34201To check the coolant level1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
TIPThe coolant level must be checked on a cold en-
gine since the level varies with engine tempera-
ture. 2. Check the coolant level in the coolant reser- voir.TIPThe coolant should be between the minimum and
maximum level marks.


Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to enter
the brake system, reducing braking perfor-
mance.
 Clean the filler cap before removing. Use
only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed contain-
er.
 Use only the specified brake fluid; otherwise,
the rubber seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage.
 Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Add-
ing a brake fluid other than DOT 4 may result
in a harmful chemical reaction.
 Be careful that water does not enter the
brake fluid reservoir when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point of the flu-
id and may result in vapor lock.
NOTICEECB01161Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid im-
mediately. As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the brake
fluid level to gradually go down. A low brake fluid
level may indicate worn brake pads and/or brake
system leakage; therefore, be sure to check the brake pads for wear and the brake system for
leakage. If the brake fluid level goes down sud-
denly, have a Yamaha dealer check the cause be-
fore further riding.
EBU24283Changing the brake fluidHave a Yamaha dealer change the brake fluid at
the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. In addition, have the oil seals
of the brake master cylinder and calipers as well
as the brake hoses replaced at the intervals listed
below or whenever they are damaged or leaking.

Oil seals: Replace every two years.
 Brake hoses: Replace every four years.EBU24395Checking the front brake lever free
playThe brake lever free play must be checked at the
intervals specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. The brake lever should have
no free play as shown. If there is free play, have a
Yamaha dealer check the brake system.
